Wilmington vs. Fredericks – PPD
The rains that swept through the DMV during the early evening postponed yesterday’s game. They’ll try to make it up with doubleheader today.

Wilson 6 Fredericksburg 1
• L. Johnson (L, 5-2) 3⅔ IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 3K
• K. Peterson 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 2K
• Jones 1-2, BB,

The injection of FCL guys to the FredNats roster continues to inoculate them for winning as Wilson handed Fredericksburg its seventh loss since the All-Star break, 6-1. Luke Johnson suffered his second loss on three runs allowed over three and 2/3rds on four hits and a walk. Dashyll Tejada, Sir Jamison Jones, and Christhian Vaquero each had single while Jones, Coy James, and Manuel Cabrera each drew a walk as the FredNats were only able to score with the help of an error.

Four no-hit innings by Manuel Ruiz went for naught as the D-Nats bats were held to six singles and one walk, with Samil Serrano the sole batter to reach base twice.
